The problem there is that the amount of time being wasted is asymmetrical since the employer isn't present, so the typical experience from the candidate's perspective is spending an evening working on a project and then getting no feedback and a canned rejection letter.
I wonder how much of the costs are due to "negawatts", investment in energy efficiency. Do that enough and you layer large capital costs on the system that the utility can charge for.
People spending inordinate amounts of time memorizing solutions to common problems. This is admittedly partly the fault of HR not ensuring that interviewers have a good pool of problems to choose from and twists to put on things, but it's a constant cat and mouse game with various websites aggregating interview questions from companies.
What are the facts that people are not considering?

I have 10+ years XP working mostly remote, and have been a member of several founding teams as a technical cofounder. Been through Techstars. I'm ready for a new contract or a longer term opportunity, writing code and building a team around a great idea.
Scamming is fun, you don't have to be predictable or reliable or follow social norms, and your ceiling is limited by your own desire rather than a time schedule or a pay structure. (Of course, these days some scammers run firms with office space, schedules, and incentive structures!)

Also, a score yields some satisfying resentment; you're getting one over on those bastards.

I think a lot of people don't really have a good theory of mind of career criminals. The vast majority aren't regretfully finding themselves driven into crime; they like it and it's fun.
Valhala might help there, but yeah, we are still a couple of years away and currently the best is to manually model memory with the new Panama API, definitly not the same league as C# / .NET today, which I consider the closest modern language to what Modula-3 has promised us.
Not really, it doesn't mean you put everything into a jsonb field. It could mean that for example if you have some user specific settings you just drop them in a jsonb on the user itself instead of building a schema with mapping tables, permissions etc. as you don't know yet which options you want to support. Once thing stabilize you can pull it out of there.

From my personal experience this works really well and is a nice balance between a strict schema, and still allowing some flexibility for experiments.
Nobody wants to admit it, but businesses are deeply ideological. Not in the typical sense, but they have lots of strongly held irrational beliefs that are contradictory. They are not rational actors.
It's for quality assurance. You take samples of asphalt (in this case), concrete, etc. during construction and they get shipped off for analysis. I don't know what they do with the asphalt, but for concrete they do slump tests of the wet concrete and crush tests of cured samples. Probably other tests too.

I'm guessing it's pretty rare for the results to come back as "tear it all out and start over", but... you'd sure want to know if that were the case!
It'll probably stay stuck around $60k for a while.

It's worth noting that when FTX collapsed, the price was closer to $20k.
How’d you see that working? How can you use Google without the internet?
Presumably it was referring to some fee that was added on top of what was advertised as the cost of delivery? The delivery is a service which obviously isn't free. But if you order food for $100 and there is a $20 delivery cost, and then a $5 delivery "fee" on top of the actual delivery cost, then it does smell like hiding a cost in a "junk fee".
If such things influence works of fiction, they must surely influence works of nonfiction just as much, if not more so — yet I never had a schoolteacher ask me to analyze nonfiction writings anywhere close to the depth I had to analyze novels.

It wasn't until the tertiary level that I first analyzed science writings and related philosophy writings to a similar depth (albeit for a different purpose), and discovered to my delight how many of them are written with a beauty and a kind of humanity that verges on poetry. It moved me in ways that fiction never has, I think in part because of the purity and honesty of my discovery — so unlike the trudging hours I spent miming proundness in school until I could no longer recognize it.

I am truly glad that nonfiction analysis was neglected in school, because it otherwise would have been robbed of all its spirit and magic, too.

Why do we force students to analyze text in this manner at the cost of killing their love for recreational reading? So many children, who once loved story time best of all, grow up to hate books and poetry. Yet they still love the search for meaning in cinema and music which, as yet, still remain mostly beyond the killing touch of involuntary study.

Is it any wonder literary analysis feels fake to so many people?
>Keeping certain books out of school libraries for younger age kids is not a bad idea.

Except, this isn't what's happening. FFS, it's happening in all libraries, not just the ones meant for the kiddies. You know this, yet paint a different picture, in support of your position.

>Just like preventing children from watching porn is not a bad idea.

Now we draw the false parallel between non-pornographic books and actual pr0n.

>Parenting is about finding a balance between protection and pushing their boundaries.

Now the feel-good statement, providing us all with a justification for their statements. THE KIDS! All of this is somehow aside from the fact that the parents and other children and the internet are much more influential than a book by Gloria Steinbeck, that makes racists uncomfortable.

> Schools should be safe places to learn without having to worry about your kid coming home wanting to transition into an asexual raccoon or whatever the hell is trendy that year.

Finally, we draw another parallel between 2 things that are completely unrelated, because we have no real justification for our point, just feels.

Well done?

> Possible undefined behavior ranges from ignoring the situation completely with unpredictable results, to behaving during translation or program execution ...

As much as I'm not a fan of the status quo, the argument that changing "Possible" back to "Permissible" isn't particularly solid; the rest of the paragraph makes it clear it's not an exhaustive list of behaviours, merely examples from a "range".
The series seems absolutely terrible, which proves that having a franchise doesn't mean it's actually good.
All fast JavaScript VMs use some form of pointer tagging. V8 uses (compressed) tagged pointers and both JSC and Firefox used NaN-boxing.

WasmGC has a i31ref as part of its reference hierarchy, which is implemented with pointer tagging.
Space-efficient indexing for immutable log data
Fun read. My favorite line: "Six months later, in May 1984, Michael Larson sat beardily in the interview room for the Press Your Luck auditions in Hollywood."
I have tried C# recently.

They have support for these features, but they require some ceremony to use (like wrapping function arguments in a Callable), which increases friction, signal to noise ratio, and decreases the expressiveness that I want.

I just want to write what I want without having to think too much about how the language wants me to write it.
Go is good for that. JS too, but has a lot of historical cruft.

WPF is not the best example of open source, as some components are still closed source. Though it only runs on Windows, a closed source operating system, so perhaps that is not so important.

That said, there are cross platform, open source .NET UI frameworks out there, including one that is inspired by WPF:

> I really enjoyed how the post was laid out —- the structure caught and kept my attention and made the arguments easy to follow.

Thank you.

> Further, I think that it's easy to actually overwhelm yourself with too many tools, at which point you've exhausted your interest and willingness to learn them.

I think most of the counterarguments in the comments to this post will have a similar idea to this. My thought is that this phenomenon occurs because of a lack of tool intelligence in handling tools. What those comments show is that more content is needed on how to survive among numerous tools and how to easily filter tools. Some things are hard to use alone without something else, and this seems to be the case.

> I think the best tool use and evaluation comes from a sense of immediate necessity

You assume that people can know what tools they need. Considering my observations, that doesn't match reality. That doesn't mean a dancer has to go through all the Excel documents they don't even use, but it's easy to narrow down the candidates for what might be relevant to you.
At the same age in southern California, my kids had what was supposed to be 1-2 hours of homework a night. Which was made worse by ADHD. And, additionally, I had to teach my son basic skills that school failed to teach him. Like spelling and his times table.

It was a disaster.
Fast wins for something like mobile apps but not infrastructure where safety matters and you can’t just shrug off liability. The Boring Company is a great example: fast to market themselves but almost all of their projects have fallen through.
> Worry about the things you have control over, don't worry about things you don't.

Yes, I've never been good at this, but in my defense, it doesn't really make sense to worry about the things you can control since you can... you know... control them. It also doesn't make sense to worry about the things you can't because you can't control them. Then why every worry about anything? I suppose it's just the way some of us are built.

Anything that adds carbon to the atmosphere is indeed harming other people; that is the what we have learned. To some of us, living beyond our sustainable means is the opposite of fulfilling; only living for today can cost you your future. Obviously the actions of an individual are nearly meaningless in the sense that no one drop of water makes the flood, but our own actions are the only things we can control as you say and so perhaps the only thing we should worry about.
I was mostly thinking of how incredibly loud it would be to do all that under a metal roof. Sure hope they've got solid hearing protection.
I guess if you feel like you're not wasting enough money on roads this would certainly be a way to waste a lot more.
> The common thread is that just because you can buy something, or can qualify for a particular mortgage, doesn't mean you should if you're goal is to "retire" early. One of the engineers I worked at Sun with told me that once he had enough value in Sun stock he just decided it was enough. He never moved out of his "starter" house (small 3 bedroom) and always drove his budget/no-options economy car at least 100,000 miles. And his idea of a "great vacation" was camping in the Sierras. So it didn't take much for him to get there and in the middle of the dot com "boom" he sold all his stock, paid his taxes, paid off his house, and retired.

My problem with the FIRE and /r/of communities is that their loudest proponents shun anyone who _doesn't_ want to live like this.

Anyone who wants new cars, nice vacations (don't you dare mention flying business class!), and nice houses are anathema to these folks, even if you can clearly (a) afford it and (b) continue to save towards retirement, albeit less aggressively.

This is why I like the /r/fatFIRE community instead. They acknowledge that one can want to retire early (or just retire at a normal age, but with thick assets) and live a nice life while getting there IF you are willing/able to push for higher income jobs.
America has "at will employment". Except for certain classes (gender, disability, race, etc.) that are illegal to discriminate against, an employer can fire someone for any reason. Therefore, employees have to go along with what the employer wants in order to keep their job; even if what the employer wants is unreasonable or illegal.

An Economic Solution to Copyright Challenges of Generative AI
Same experience. We were doing all the things, regular backups, rotating them, verifying them. During a weekly verification test, it failed. Tested some older backups and they failed too! If the data matters, it’s hard to express the stress and disconcert you feel in this moment.

Memory is different from all other resources in the system. We are conditioned as engineers, we know drives fail more frequently than other resources. When memory fails it is indistinguishable from a drive failure. There are some system behaviors that matter too, we tend to think that page allocation is random and on heavily loaded systems it appears to be, but on specialized systems it can be rather consistent so the verification can fail in nearly the same place, repeatedly. Riddle me this: what is more likely? A memory failure, a drive failure, or a postgresql bug that results in a corrupted row? Badblocks checks out on the server’s disks… if the data matters, it is extremely unpleasant going through that whole thing, it’s crystal clear after the fact but it’s a bloody nightmare in the heat of it all.
I don't view justice as a responsibility but rather as a right for the victim. Whether the victim stops the rape with a 9mm hole in the aggressors head, sends posse, or sends a judge to do it are private matter for the victim to choose not for me to dictate.

The problematic parts come up with how you pay the judge (stealing from 3rd parties), jailers etc and much the other stuff the state does. It would probably be more pragmatic to basically privatize the judge/court.
Yeah that “directness” you’re talking about is what I call “expressiveness”

It’s important for how I like to code.
I agree they're not junk, and neither are CC processing fees. They just should be built into the price.

I'm actually not jealous, I'm happy for my friends that were able to buy. I just think it was a silly, shortsighted policy move. The 2% rate that people are locked into is only part of the problem of course. There's just not much inventory in NYC or in many other cities.
And they essentially abandoned it less than two years after release. (2020/03/20 - last content update/v2.0.0 2021/11/05) Regardless of whether it was dedication to the next version, they still left a shitload of money on the table when they could've added a little content and kept attracting new players.
This would apply to a very few number of people. The overwhelming majority of tech jobs in the US do not pay anywhere nearly enough to work for 5-10 years and fully retire. This would even prove a problem with many of the very well paid devs as you'd need somewhere to sleep.
A rather key difference is that people who break the law can and do get put in prison. Whereas consequences and penalties for corporations seem to be nonexistent.

An obvious solution would be to revoke limited liability for a corporation, converting it into a general partnership… shareholders could either abandon or sell their shares, and ones who remain would assume both liability and control over the corporation. (Imagine something like this at Boeing.)

Limited liability is a privilege, not a right, bestowed by state governments.
I’m on a 787 in-flight wifi right now. This is very reassuring :/
Maybe im a cynic but queue winter 2024-25 and the bird flue pandemic. Luckily we have this new experimental vaccine.

Crossing my fingers im just a cynic and that im wrong.
Easy if you're okay with going child-free. Many people badly want families, and that's okay too.
> US big tech is basically US government military tech arm.

Completely different from that of China. US big tech are own by individual organizations out of US government and cooperate with it. Huawei benefits people from CCP directly.
It's common for libraries to use the 2 lowest bits in tree structures e.g. RB tree. It's not a problem at all since the data structure is controlled by the library. Even if tree nodes are allocated/provided by the user, having a "4-byte aligned" requirement in the API contract isn't a problem at all -- in fact you need to work quite hard to allocate a structure with a pointer that isn't at least 4 byte aligned (i386), or 8 byte aligned (x64).
What rare metals are in LFP batteries? Lithium? We have a lithium glut.

It should be noted that if an electric vehicle has 70 KWh of batteries in it, then electrifying the 283 million motor vehicles in the US would need 20 TWh of batteries. This is considerably more than would be needed to convert the US grid to 100% renewables (assuming proper use of non-battery storage technologies as well for longer term storage). The implication here is that if BEVs win, then a renewable grid is not a big additional step.

Which of course, isn't true. The Red Guard was a police force in a very real sense as was the NKVD.
I have never been an apple fanboy. Till 2022, I was on android phones. Work issued either Thinkpad or XPS variants. However, I have owned apple books since 2004 starting from panther era. I sincerely believe that apple provides best features and performance combination in the given price for laptops.

Here I feel that I-hate-apple crowd is just stuck with this notion of luxury overpriced brand when it is clearly not the case. Apple has superior hardware at better price points. Last time I was doing shopping for a laptop, I could get similar features only at a 30% - 40% price premium in other brands.

I am typing this on an apple M2 air and try finding similar performance under 2000 USD in other brands. The responsiveness, the (mostly) sane defaults and superior rendering and fonts make it worth it. The OS does not matter so much as it used to do in 2004 and the fact that I have a unix terminal in 2024 is just incidental. I have turned off auto updates and I do not use much of phone integration apart from taking backups and photo copying.

I switched to an iPhone in 2022 from a 200 US$ Samsung handset. Here, I would say that not everyone needs an iPhone. My old phone used to do all the tricks I need on this one. However, the camera is really and photos are really great. If I buy an iPhone next time, it would be just for the photos it takes.
Good point - I need to adjust my thinking on who an investor is.

No crusade, just offering constructive suggestions to the OP.

Detectable, maybe -- month one, a few homonyms which could be spelling corrections: been -> bean etc, month two, (near-) synonyms: bean -> lentil ... throw in a few UFT8 homglyphs to add noise. Unlikely that that sort of corruption would be obvious to a machine, then manual checking is needed, and do they have the manpower for that?
> IBM and other big players are vigilant about these things, and this is what companies pay for.

And more importantly, IBM will guarantee it in the case that they're wrong. _That's_ what companies pay for.
> 1. What about all the humans reading your answers? I get you're on a crusade against AI, but it kinda sucks that you're potentially sabotaging student/junior programmers in the process.

What about them? Nothing's perfect. One rather effective of was of undermining any kind of effective protest, is to pepper it with demands for perfection that can only be satisfied though inaction.

And I think there's a subtle contradiction in your objection: by doing something like this you're also sabotaging the thing that is slated to replace many of those those "student/junior programmers." So are you really doing them harm?
I remember listening to a pitch about Xanadu around 2010 or 2011.

One of the major, major issues that the presenter (don't remember the name) had is that features like two-way linking only work if the entire system is centralized. Yet, to "replace" the world-wide-web, the system has to be decentralized, or otherwise encumbered with a lot of the problems of blockchain. (IE, blockchain protocols require significantly more politics to update than HTTP.)

I very quickly stopped taking the presenter seriously; and I think other people had a similar sentiment.
> I think you're completely ignoring the reality of frauds.

Or maybe their strategy still catches all of the frauds and it has therefore never been a problem to them?

I have to agree with their take, and just asking a bunch of technical questions -even without any code- is good enough to filter out the obvious incompetents.
Does the BBC still have people in place doing experiments and R&D? I recall at one point they were researching/experimenting with audio codecs. I imagine this has taken a hit with funding cuts and general short-sightedness back home.
Ah, Ok, fair enough.

For me "TBs" starts at 10TB :-) But, yes, even 2TB is terabytes, of course. My bad.
Haha. Maybe if companies had not been using automated systems to weed out (and likely discriminate) against applicants this would not be happening.
Effective Testing in JavaScript
I have some tiny hope that if the new security mandate is anything beyond marketing, we finally slowly move away from COM in Windows.

Or at very least, all those scenarios where currently only in-proc COM in C++ is allowed, turn into external COM in whatever-you-fancy scenario.
Almost. The Dell proposal is called CAMM, which was slightly modified during the JEDEC process and standardized as CAMM2, which is the combined with the memory type the same way DIMM was, For example LPDDR5X CAMM2 or DDR5 CAMM2. LPCAMM2 is not a name used in any JEDEC standard or even referred to anywhere on their site, but it seems to be used by both the memory manufacturers and the users because it's less of a mouthful, and they feel there needs to be more to distinguish between LPDDR5 CAMM2 and DDR5 CAMM2 because they are not electrically compatible.
The Trump administration appointed an extremely anti labor person to head the NLRB(they had been involved in Reagan's mass air traffic controller firings in the 80s).
One of the first things the Biden administration did, hours into the new administration, was replace that person.

The ACLU is currently going through a court case involving the NLRB. The ACLU is fighting with the novel argument that the Biden administration replacement was done unlawfully, therefore every action of the NLRB since then is illegal.

I'm sure a potential future Trump administration will try as hard as possible to destroy labor and the NLRB.
